    Abanyarwanda uko watubyaye
    Berwa, sugira, singizwa iteka.

    Ibyo tugukesha ntibishyikirwa;
    Umuco dusangiye uraturanga
    Ururimi rwacu rukaduhuza
    Ubwenge, umutima, amaboko yacu
    Nibigukungahaze bikwiye
    Nuko utere imbere ubutitsa.

    Urangwe n'ishyaka, utere imbere
    Uhamye umubano n'amahanga yose
    Maze ijabo ryawe riguhe ijambo.
